Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, announced she’s separating from her husband, former U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner, following a report that he again exchanged sexually charged messages with another woman.

“After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband,” Abedin said in a statement. “Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy.”
